In the heart of the vibrant Gràcia neighborhood, Astúries Street stands as a living testament to Barcelona’s urban history and cosmopolitan spirit. The street was opened approximately between 1827 and 1830, thanks to the initiative of landowner Àgata Badia i Puigrodon de Trilla. Over the years, different sections of the street have borne various names: “Maragda” (later incorporated into Astúries), “San Antonio” (around 1830), and “Esmeralda” (in 1922).

Today, Astúries is a space where tradition meets modernity, offering locals and visitors an authentic and lively urban experience.
